Cui Cui was not alone. The eight pandas from Wolong in Sichuan all looked unhappy. A very big earthquake had destroyed their home. They arrived in Beijing on May 24.

“All the Wolong pandas were scared by the earthquake,” said a keeper who came along with the animals. “When the earthquake happened, the sky turned dark. Some pandas climbed up trees. This was a way to protect themselves,” he said, “even after the earthquake, some did not want to come down. Many of them lost their appetites (胃口) and six pandas ran away from their home. One is still missing.”
“The earthquake ruined their lives. This is why the pandas are sad,” said the keeper.
However, in Beijing, the mood of the pandas improved when they saw their favourite fresh bamboo leaves.

A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow(烏鴉) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain(鄙視).
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments(評(píng)價(jià)) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended(假裝) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”

What is a hurricane?
You may already know that hurricanes are storms. They can cause terrible waves，wind，and rain. They happen during “Hurricane Season”, which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.
Kinds of Hurricanes
There are five kinds of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. It helps people know how much damage(危害) a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed is, the more dangerous the storm is. For example, a kind of hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour, which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely.
Hurricane dangers
When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall, there can be a terrible flood. The centre of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane has dangerous strong winds, the eye is actually(事實(shí)上) a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think that it’s over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.
Hurricane safety tips
There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following safety tips.
Be sure you have a radio, batteries, fresh drinking water, and enough food.
Tell neighbours, friends, and family members your emergency plans. Tell them where you’ll go if you need to leave your home.
If you live near the ocean, leave your home and travel to a safe place. You could stay with a friend or a family member, in a hotel/motel, or in an emergency shelter area.
Stay inside during the storm. You could be badly injured(受傷) if you go outside.
Hurricanes
Characteristics “Hurricane Season” usually lasts about 86 months in the Atlantic Ocean and 6.5 months in the Pacific Ocean.
Hurricanes are the 87 of terrible waves, winds and rain.
Kinds There are five kinds of hurricanes.
Different hurricanes have different 88 speeds.
A kind of hurricanes can destroy all the 89 along the shorelines.
90 When a hurricane comes together with heavy rain, a terrible 91 may happen.
The eye is the __92__ of a hurricane. Soon after it passes, the wind and rain increase again.
Safety tips It’s 93 to stop a hurricane or change its direction.
Don’t forget the safety tips if you find yourself in the 94 of a hurricane.
Take necessary things. Tell people your emergency plans. Travel to a safe place. Stay 95 during the storm, or you could be badly hurt.

七、閱讀表達(dá) 閱讀短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容按要求簡(jiǎn)略回答問(wèn)題。(共5小題, 每小題2分，
計(jì)10分)
Why do people cry? Scientists say the body produces tears because they need them. One kind of tears is for the eye, the other is for the heart. They both work as cleaners. If something else like dust(灰塵) gets into your eye, tears also come into the eye to clean it out. If you are hurt by something, your strong feelings produce some poisonous chemicals(毒素) in your body, and at the same time, tears come out with them. If these poisonous chemicals are not cleaned out of your body as soon as possible, they will do harm to the heart sooner or later.
In the United States men have heart problems more often than women do. Doctors say heart problems have something to do with the pressures(壓力) of living and working now. Perhaps men suffer more from these illnesses because they do not cry enough. They need to cry more.
In fact, you can find many ways of reducing the pressures to keep fit. Crying is a natural and physical one.
96. How many kinds of tears does the body usually produce? (one word)
97. What do tears do when dust gets into your eye? (less than 10 words)
98. What will produce the poisonous chemicals that do harm to the heart? (two words)
99. Why do men suffer more from heart problems than women? (less than 5 words)
